Not even close. I can't believe anybody could prefer this thoughtless lackadaisical drivel to the White Stripes!

WS are just way to overly simple.

That's the idea! It's garage rock...

Well to a certain extent.

Nothing wrong with simple, i like songs where everything is stripped down to the bare essentials.
Lately the Stripes seem to go for more complicated arrangements but there's still that basic feel to the songs (apart from all that bagpipe malarky) and that's a lot of their appeal to me.

I can't really say which I liked better, first or this. 'Consolers Of The Lonely' has some good songs, like 'Five On The Five' but I have to admit they are hyped up a bit too much as a band, what with Jack White being considered one of the best guitarists of all time o_O.

It's just not vigorous enough to be considered a good rock album.

I've only ever heard SASG.
Am I cool enough to be pm'd a link?

No, but I'll send you one anyway.

;)

Thank you.
I'll try not to be such a loser.
